I love to grab the rice from the freezer in the morning and when we come home it is all ready to reheat and serve. We do this for lots of meals and it helps on busy weeknights.
It’s also delicious over pasta Any type is great! Try bowtie, penne, egg noodles or whatever you have on hand.
We also love mashed potatoes with this so we can pour the gravy all over the potatoes. It is the best!

SO EASY AND A GOOD HARDY MEAL THAT KEEPS YOU FULL.
OMG! The Crock Pot Smothered Chicken is beyond delicious and amazing! The chicken is so tender, the sauce and mushroom I believe I would be able to eat with a spoon right out of pan of them! When you put it with the rice (or I use egg noodles sometimes) it’s like coming home! Great, easy and so fabulous meal and I can vouch it’s so very scrumptious the next day! Gotta love the leftovers!!
This was so easy to make and the chicken was fork tender! It made plenty of gravy and it was delicious! I’m not big on mushrooms so I left those out. I am big on garlic so I added that! I will definitely be making this one again!
Easy to make and everyone went back for more! It’s going in the make again book.
just had this last night. so yummy.
Is there another way to make this without a crock pot? I’m away from home 10 to 12 hrs a day for work and single. I can never find slow cooker recipes that cook that long…
My crock pot switch over to a keep warm setting so that I can still use it even when I’m gone for long days. I would recommend using one of these crock pots or you can also make this in an electric pressure cooker (Instant Pot).
This was an outstanding recipe. The only thing we changed up is to double the mushrooms. It’s still came out perfect and gave us more love.
Can I use frozen chicken breast or isn’t better to use thawed?
You can use frozen chicken breasts as well. I would add 1 hour to the cook time if cooking on low or 30 minutes if cooking on high if you use frozen chicken breast.
